You never know what you might see. This is a once in a lifetime bit of footage. I had been sitting next to the bear trail when the diamondback, about three feet long crawled into sight. It laid there for awhile next to the log and was in the process of crawling away when this long yearling wandered in. Bears usually have a natural fear of rattlesnakes but this two year old cub was more curious than afraid until the snake moved. Instantly the bear was fifty feet away. Look closely beside the log. That stick isn’t a stick. Watch it closely as the cub sniffs at its tail. Be sure your volume is turned up. Chaz
